AN ENTERTAINING NOVEL.

THE JEsUITs RING. A Romance Of Mount Desert
BY AUGUSTUS ALLEN HAYES, 16mo PIP 3oo' Chailes
Scribners Sons.
Mr.. HAYES has certainly well fulfilled one Of the
first duties of romance writer, which is to tell
an interesting story. He has ingeniousy com
bined antique legend and modern reality by q
thread of connection between the Jesuit mission
arv settlement of Saint Sauveur tl6l3) and the
contemporary life of Bar IIarbor, and by de-
vice which is fanciful but not too fantastic he
has managed to carry the romantic quality all
through the diversified narrative. Ills prologue
